READING, Pennsylvania -- Ryan Mougenel had a goal and assisted on the other two scores to lead the Atlantic City Broadwalk Bullies over the Reading Royals, 3-2. Mougenel opened the scoring nearly eight minutes into the contest and also assisted on first-period goals by both Kevin Colley and Mike Martiniello. He has now registered six goals and 11 assists in 19 games this season. Scott Stirling, who had a shutout bid stopped just 2:22 into the final period, finished with 25 saves in the win. Atlantic City is now 8-3-2 all-time versus Reading in the regular season. Steve Rymsha and Brandon Dietrich both scored in the third period for the Royals, who have lost three straight. Jeff Sanger gave up all three goals within the first 14 minutes of the contest before being replaced.

Omar Daal
thinks it is important for pitchers to be able to hit.  Omar Daal

Daal (9-6), Philadelphia's opening day starter last year before being traded to the Dodgers in the offseason, allowed two runs and six hits, while striking out five.  He gave Los Angeles a 1-0 lead with a solo shot in the third inning off Phillies starter Brett Myers (1-2).  "It was a good pitch to hit,'' Daal said. "I made a good swing and was lucky to hit the ball out of the ballpark."  Daal pulled Myers' 1-0 fastball into the right-field seats. It was his second career home run.

"We know he is capable because he swung the bat pretty good when he was with us,'' Philadelphia manager Larry Bowa said.

Los Angeles manager Jim Tracy was pleased with his starter.  "Omar did a fabulous job for us and obviously helped his own cause with a home run,'' Tracy said.

Eric Gagne pitched the ninth for his 36th save in 38 chances. Leading 4-2, he gave up a run on Marlon Anderson's leadoff triple and Doug Glanville's one-out single.

Adrian Beltre added a two-run homer for the Dodgers (62-49). Beltre's seventh-inning home run off Myers and gave the Dodgers a 3-0 lead.  "Adrian's all business right now,'' Tracy said. "We saw it in the second half of 2000 and we're starting to see it again. He's focused and it's like we got a new player without trading for one.''

Myers, making his third major league start, allowed seven hits and three runs in seven innings.  "I felt good but made some mistakes,'' Myers said. "You're supposed to hit mistakes and they did.''

Philadelphia (52-58) closed to 3-2 in the seventh. Travis Lee led off with a single and Jimmy Rollins broke a 0-for-15 skid with a double. Lee scored on Anderson's squeeze bunt, moving Rollins to third.  Paul Shuey relieved Daal and struck out pinch-hitter Jeremy Giambi, but then threw a wild pitch that let Rollins score.

The Phillies placed runners at first and second with two outs in the eighth before reliever Paul Quantrill struck out Rollins to end the threat.

Eric Karros doubled and Alex Cora hit an RBI single in the ninth.

Lee went 3-for-3 and made a run-saving stop on Dave Roberts' line drive in the seventh inning.

What happened to Abreu's power this year?
Bobby Abreu was 2-for-5 in the game.  Scott Rolen was traded to the Cardinals the week before this game, leaving Abreu, Rollins and Burrell to fight it out for the honor of the "biggest name" on the team.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shawn Green still looks like he's 12 to me.
Shawn Green was 0-for-4 in the game but is probably the lone offensive player on the Dodgers this year (besides maybe Adrian Beltre if he ever evolves) who anyone will remember 20 years from now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jimmy Rollins is really tiny.

Jimmy Rollins is having a rough sophomore year, but is still exciting to watch.  He and Rolen were voted into the All-Star Game in 2002.

METS AVOID SWEEP BEHIND TOP PROSPECT
Binghamton right-hander Aaron Heilman is regarded as the top prospect in the New York Mets organization.  Sunday afternoon the Phillies and a crowd of 6,447 saw why.  Heilman pitched masterfully over eight innings, allowing a run and two Nate Espy hits on the way to a 4-2 victory.

The former Notre Dame product improved his record to 3-4, ended a three-game losing streak and won on the road for the first time this season.  He struck out five and walked one.

The Mets (37-43) ended a seven-game losing streak and used the long ball to get it done.  They got home runs from Prentice Redman (8), Chris Basak (3) and Aaron McNeal (14) to account for all of their runs.

Martire Franco (3-3) went eight innings for the Phillies.

An Espy RBI double accounted for the Phillies' first run in the fourth.  The Phillies put together a mini-rally in the ninth, scoring a run on Jason Johnson's two-out single.

The loss was only the third in the last 16 games for the Phillies (50-33), who fell to 6-2 on the homestand.

Excellent picture of Jolie...one of my latest favorites.
It was an extremely hot day.  So, unfortunately, Bev had to take Jolie home around the 4th inning.  But we did get this incredibly cute picture in before they left!
Aaron Heilman, the Mets #1 pick in 2001 and #1 prospect going into 2002.
Aaron Heilman was the Met's #1 pick in 2001, and he's already in AA.  He got the win in this game.  We got a good view of him warming up in the bullpen before the game.

Fletcher Bates seemed like a pretty cool guy.

Fletcher Bates was once part of the Mike Piazza trade.  He sat in the bullpen for much of the game and toyed with the kids in the RF stands.

The view from our seats!
This is the view from our box seats that we got from Medlar Electric.

After a 1 hour rain delay before the game even began, a number of the White Sox were warming up and stretching right in front of our seats.  This picture is of rookie Willie Harris.  Magglio Ordonez appeared to be posing for my pictures, but as my luck would have it, that picture came out blurry!  BLA!

 

Scott Rolen
Scott Rolen's days as a Phillies are probably numbered.  He was 0-for-3 in the game before leaving with a minor muscle strain.
